| Cotton, Charleston Farmer's Market, Marion Square, S.C. |
The best thing I did at the Farmer's Market yesterday was enjoy crepes for breakfast with St. Paul, Minnesota blogger Kate Mura and her husband Jim. Kate is a frequent commenter here and it was a real treat to meet them as they traveled up the coast.
